A grey alpaca beanie for everyday wear

The KIARA style has a close-fitting shape with a turn-up and a calm medium grey shade, so it pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe. It is one of those wool beanies that holds its shape well and does not create too much volume despite the defined stitch.

• 100% alpaca and a medium weight make this beanie a good choice for the autumn–winter season, offering warmth suited to everyday conditions.
• The turn-up at the forehead adds an extra layer around the lower part, so the ears and forehead are better covered.
• The single rib gives the knit elasticity, so the fitted beanie sits close to the head and keeps its beanie shape.
• The surface has a soft natural halo, which gives it a gentler, more wrapped look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so it stands up better to regular wear.
• Aga made this style by hand on knitting needles in a rib stitch, which gives the knit a defined, springy texture in wear.

The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Care is simple, but it does require gentleness: hand washing and drying flat help the alpaca beanie keep its shape; we have gathered brief guidance here: how to care for wool.
